originally founded by kisk back in 2009 apparel music set out to offer something truly singular in focusing their musical output predominately on jazz whilst venturing into its integration across the landscape of electronic music at the time.with a zealous release schedule, they racked up a healthy collection of eps between 2010-2015 from artists such as delano smith, scsi-9, sarp yilmaz and the label owner himself amongst many others. now after a year-long hiatus, the label makes a return with a slick 4-track va that fans both old and new will relish. strictly limited to a pressing of 200 on 180 grams of wax, their re-launch brings with it a jazz-suffused 4-track record featuring voyeur, ivano tetelepta & eugeÌne latumeten, kisk and kerem akdag. voyeurs swinging for theo kicks things off with organic, brushed drums and a walking bass line set off to a tight, swaying rhythm. glassy rhodes keys bleed into the mix ahead of piano stabs and 909 hats that propel progress when combined with a thickened low-end. ivano tetelepta & eugeine latumeten follow up with je suis reconnaissant a bass-heavy groove that lays soulful vocal samples over filtered piano chords and loose-limbed hat patterns. kisks just u then drives a crackly drum loop through distant, flexing synth tones. arresting vocal samples then take the foreground in a rich, smokey mix before istanbuls kerem akdags closes up the package. akin to the styles of producers such as henry wu and max graef, akdags friend melds playful drum patterns with thick chord stabs and smooth vocal lines that wrap up a stellar return for apparel music.

big support by of barac, priku, s.a.m., dorian paic, terence terry and many more. new by the label honcho himself. caceress is delivering another ep on the label to close an amazing year. we all have been slowly getting the message and this time teaming up with colombian painter santiago ayerbe, they are bringing something in honor of the peace of colombia... raving and having joy is also a way to peace. vinyl only with amazing cover artwork.

ecuador s rising son, nicola cruz, returns to multi culti with cantos de vision, a truly visionary ep backed by remixes from jaja, argentinian uji, and multi culti s own thomas von party. one of the core artists in multi culti s diverse catalog of globally-inspired dance music, nicola cruz is deservedly becoming the poster-boy for a new wave of producers that fuse indigenous sounds with internationally professional production, creating something entirely new, sonically. it s a genre that multi culti ambassadors dreems & thomas von party refer to as folklorica, a psychedelic replanting of folkloric roots, and nowhere is it more skilfully executed than on nicola s tracks. following up on his debut lp for latin america s indie powerhouse, zzk records, the return to multi culti sees cruz sharpen his focus toward igniting the downtempo dance-floors that have slowly been gaining ground in clubs and festivals recently. this new club sound is at the fore on lead track tzantza, already an integral part of nicola s live shows and dj sets at festivals like sonar and mutek.

the hard working and prolific glenn underground strikes again with this ep of 3 mid-tempo club burners: made in the usa gotta get a high remastered followed by lonnie liston smith a chance for peace time stretched and vivian reed dont start something. slick and sexy. get with this.

g string brings something new to the broken dreams pot. stripped down, bare bones blackened machine music. decoration is removed, the ornate purged. in their place sit burnt out remains. chords are hollowed and scraped, rhythms smeared and smudged as loneliness is amplified. a stark and spartan statement of grey skies and dark eyes.

well,what about tuesday? israeli hybrid house and techno masters juju & jordash return to dekmantel records with yet another outstanding release. their relentless work ethos makes you wonder if these guys sleep at all. maybe thats what tuesdays are for? dkmntl 043 is a three-tracker and a fine display of gal aners and jordan czamanskis next-level, improv based way of painting records. monday mellow is a dubbed out, twisted and subtly emerging house groover, while wednesday something continues the journey with a dense electronic jazz-tinged stomper. thursday, heavy. demonstrates their full range, combining eerie melodic synth excursions with a jagged bassline an out of this world, destructive yet classy house bomb. as always their intergalactic excursions are superbly executed. lets give them some rest on those tuesdays.

according to numerology the number five is the most energetic and dynamic of all the single numbers. allow this to be one of your defining expectations when you start listening to * 5 *, the debut album from parisian maestro djebali. the number not only marks the number of years that have passed since his label was conceived, but also represents the months it took to complete his very first long -player. this is an important milestone in any artist’s career, the first time they have the opportunity to create something timeless – a culmination of all of their experiences so far, and a statement about where they are, and where they’re going.

the ballroom basement of a hotel. the place for jack nicholsons mean encounter with a ghost or possibly the place for a cocaine laden sexual encounter with part of the media agency elite. the label worked there. and so did pablo. buying talent, slinging drinks, just a couple sneering punk kids looking towards a completely different berlin future. there was a time when rough and tumble crossed paths with diamonds. maybe it created diamonds in the rough? pablo always sent the label demos before the label was a label and could do something with them. pablo has had a string of successes since then (too numerous to point out) and the label became a label. became uncaged. time to let this relationship out of the cage. it is a long way from that ballroom basement, now time to do some thrusting, propelled, grinding, noisy, sonic shit together. house music? is it really? just in case you forgot that no one is all grim guts and clenched teeth, that wild abandon sometimes comes in the form of an ecstatic beach dance, nick höppner comes around and forces you to go out to hasenheide park for a picnic and to pick up a bag of dirt weed. >so fucking buy it<

nice price deal !!! we need to say something about how the ep came about. why all the ngtv nrg? and how is it that pirahnahead has suddenly come with a full hand of top notch in your face techno when we all know him as one of the best soulful vocal house producers? the answer is in the tracks...

7th storey projects in conjunction with new label peace on wax are proud to announce our new joint-release - a double 12- pack of rare and previously unreleased tunes from fozbee & cooz/the matchstick man. featuring tracks from the highly sought-after matchstick man ep, plus the title track from the fantastic magic & mystery ep , backed up with four previously unreleased tracks hand-picked from his 1992-1994 archives - we hope that this release will offer something for everyone!

lutto lento makes a return to ftd to fulfil your wildest of wishes. as with most of his work, the ep draws influence from across the musical world and defines something of it’s own in the process. we’re all really pleased that there’s finally a saxophone solo on the label though.

claudja barry s cult -love for the sake of love- gets mike maurro s magic remix treatment for the 7th release on brookside records. this is no ordinary edit or reworking though, mike got his hands on the actual physical master tapes and turned in a refreshed, original mix of this sleazed out downtempo monster. well known by underground disco aficionados by it s inclusion on dj harvey s earth shattering and legendary -sarcastic study masters- mix cd from 2001 this mid 70 s tom moulton mixed number came out on salsoul and caused quite a stir. this new mix really breathes new life into this stone cold classic, mike utilises lots of alternative takes, vocal vamps and instrumentation from the original sessions giving us a version that s never been heard before! a completely new, original mix. if that doesn t get all you disco fiends excited then something is seriously wrong! on the b-side mike takes claudia s -sweet dynamite- into a new realm too, again using the master tapes to full effect to create a new, refreshed version of one of her more popular jams, a raucous, slamming club cut. also released in 1976 and mixed again by tom moulton, mike maurro s version extends everything in just the right way! his rearrangements and remixes are always respectfully executed and it s clear that mike understands and feels the tracks he works on. again, another cult disco cut reworked beautifully for 2016, essential stuff for all lovers of this kind of music, this release is simply unmissable. the record comes in a full colour picture sleeve and these remixes are exclusive to this release and are fully, 100% legit, licensed and sanctioned by all relevant rights holders. simply put, another set of essential mixes from a modern day master! file under - *essential disco*

the strong first release on new label morchelle comes from estmode. a mix of analog and digital hands brought up this little ep. on side a we find a solid beat engaging rhythm that grabs you and carries you along. conviction is the word to describe side b, with an awesome thick synth coming in the middle of everything that definitely characterise and particularise a lot the track. something to impress with, a must have record.

last year saw casablanca-based cosmo records launch its most ambitious project todate, celebrating five years of cross-cultural collaboration. the three vinyl releasesfeatured producers such as san proper, radiq, pier bucci and dandy jack working with moroccan musicians to create a true fusion between modern electronics and ancient traditions. the purpose of cosmo has always been to find a natural meeting place between thesedistinct musical forms, bringing out the best strengths of each practice through real time spent together in the studio, where each artist can truly understand the other in a shared quest for sonic harmony. as such, this latest release marks a step forward in exploring this idea through a new series entitled cosmo jam. as the title suggests, the focus here is on live improvisation. in late 2014 parisian producers masomenos and vadim svoboda travelled to morocco and set up their equipment at the coda casablanca music center. they were joined by m’hamed el menjra playing bass, abdessamad boussahfa on violin and sanhaji on darbuka, and the ensuing jam sessions between these musicians now make their way on to vinyl. no editing or post-production took place – the music you hear on the record was created entirely in the moment. each track highlights the magic of a different instrument – on “be” menjra’s double bass comes twisting through effects processing and subtle distortion, meeting with a low-slung broken beat groove from the visiting french producers. sanhaji’s thrilling percussive flair on the darbuka flirts perfectly with the crisp programming of drums and bass on the uptempo “kaled” and the more laid-back “petit”. boussahfa’s violin makes for some of the most arresting moments on the release, meeting with intricate minimalist rhythms on “mon” and shining in the heart-rending ambience of “frere”. presented across two 12”s, this collection of six tracks tells a most honest account of how gifted artists from entirely different disciplines can find a common ground and create something truly unique. without any studio trickery to hide behind, this is the concept of cosmo records laid bare, and the results prove it is a concept worth exploring further.

once upon a time… four house headz from uk, us and europe were separated. but one day, their fate crossed the same road. as they shared the same vision of house music and harmony. they worked hard with some magical & musical beans… and one day, a piece of wax appeared which was called “magnetic”. indeed, this wax has something definitely magnetic. the melodies, the vocal hooks, the atmosphere? definitely! and yet it remained underground until the magnetic power of this wax revealed! since that day, international dj’s like: amine edge & dance, sam divine, ben mono, mike millrain or dave meyer, to name a few, play and support that magnetic sound... today, this magnetic strength is revealed to you! (... and they had many children.)

after a longer than usual break gamm enterprises is back on black plastic but more important... we got a brand new design! for those who don t know gamm has been delivering dance music of the blacker kind for almost 15 years but always with the same look. basically, a visual facelift was long overdue. but we think you ll feel it as much as we do and it really works beautifully with our musical ideology. so, for the (new) premier release we got an incognito producer that is rumoured to come from a small town in mexico. having finally agreed for a brief skype call he appeared wearing none other than a bright luchador mask and giving one-word answers with a strong mexican accent. no matter how convincing that was we still can t help thinking his name sounds pretty close to another producer that is to put it mildly, pretty hyped at the moment. musically the ep is ranging from percussive carnival disco (carnival in manchester) to brazilian fusion grooves (jazz in italics) and independent disco/funk (dues paid fast). either way you ll definitely find something that will work your party. gamm is back and back with musical vengeance!

uk trip hop legend howie b teaming up with the jersey deep house don jus ed? you better believe it! according to howie b himself, who proudly declared on his facebook page -the theme is cinema. the mood is deep.- cinetrax vol. 1 is the first part of three 12-s which will be presented for the project. the slow grinding electro pop of -salty dance- is something that you could have imagined ryan gosling cruising the streets of dtla after midnight in drive, while -the breach- does have cinematic aspects about it, in a way, but sounds more like an early robert hood track on -8, we really liked this bleepy and cyclical excursion in minimalism. on the flip -the essence of new- fuels some exotic daydream fantasies with its chilled and atmospheric beats while -phat harp ban- is a darkly aquatic smack electro number, that brings to mind that epic underwater bank heist in scene in sexy beast.

!! 70% xmas deal !! - last copies left , we re back with aria rostami s czarat ep, spring theory s sophmore release. rostami is a san francisco-based musician whose roots extend off into theoretical dimensions far beyond conventional dancefloor fodder (his material has appeared on labels like audiobulb and crash symbols). for czarat, however, he s honed his approach to produce an unusual dancefloor anthem. melding influences from around the world, the song arrives at something that sounds like acid house and techno as interpreted through an internet-enabled, information rich dialog of the present moment.

limited repress due to high demand on requests. eating records was born in the brussels underground scene, inspired by the idea of synthesizing two different horizons to get a beautiful concept. in the beginning it was simply the need to go back to roots and try to connect with the present and future, but eventually it ended up with a modern groovy label. the first release of the label was not that easy to find. the eclectic worlds of the two members did not really help them. but that was until they found jr from dallas - a talented dj producer from lille, owner of gourmand music recording - maybe food is the key... who knows ? jr has always been a forward-moving artist, but his music cannot - and should not - be mapped linearly. after releasing on labels as farris wheel recordings and greenhouse recordings, he had nowhere to go but backward for his new ep on eating records to its 90 old school beats and hypnotizing basses. phonical deep is gorgeous and evocative all the same. technival is stylish enough, and it is as restlessly creative as you would expect. it is followed by the hypnotic and beautiful remix of jay bliss of phonical deep - the eps final track. the fact is, jay bliss has managed to create something so refreshingly unique that trying to categorize and label his remix is rather dubious. he transformed the original melodic part to a blissful pad embellished with a repetitive rhythm spiced with tiny subtle details. it is easier to see this remix as the backbone of electronic music - simple and repetitive but never boring.

whilst searching through the tapes we found a gem…marked larry levan remix! so, now on vinyl for the first time ever, the remixes from the legendary house pioneer. an essential piece of wax for all discerning heads! groove committees i want to know, produced by victor simonelli and released in 1991 on the seminal nu groove, is something of a timeless us house classic. exclusive import release from the states.

night tides sophomore release welcomes two new names to the family. thommyy ra an simonn bring us the lost journey ep, a 6 tracker of analogue laden esoteric house. on the a, we have thommyy ra, label boss at nasty habits tape cltr and prone to a bi-annual name change, he contributed the silty seth nk remix of eluize’s “up all night on our labels debut record earlier this year. he opens with journey into nowhere, an eerie, coasting, synth drenched opus propelled by throbbing percussion and rippling leads, follows with die darling die a 90s touched, left of centre house cut, complete with a skipping kick and playfully nostalgic horn, and wraps the side with creepy, deep and groove heavy razzy moon. on the b, we introduce simonn for his first excursion on wax. unknown habits is a straight up, tried-and-tested party piece, its vibrant chords pulse amongst thumping drums issuing an undeniable call to the floor. he then turns his hand to something more aquatic, amphibious pads swell in lost in progress while layering percussion build before erupting into a euphoric break beat. finally, raw and unbleached is a delicate arpeggio outing, melodic ideas tumble and burst over one another, its light and dreamy yet gritty, innocence in sound

every so often a piece of music is created that not only speaks to your soul with its lyrics but also moves your body with its rhythm.... louie vega starring anane vega heaven knows with remixes by josh milan and louie is exactly that piece of music. vega continues to apply the cardinal elements necessary for truly timeless music that offers something for everyone rightfully earning him the title as one of the kings of house music.

all naked records hit the ground running with four flaming tracks by artists they hold dear.
the rigologo side features a ghost future track that takes you back to the chicago of 1994, but adds that little something extra. rawmental then pushes through into detroit territory with an epic and infectious synth jam. the techno side, launches with a club ready techno burner from captcha (aka strip steve) and finishes with a nate tone track. an essential debut release.

zarkoff (sasa rajkovic) is croatian musician and sound engineer that has been busy making proper sound of dozens labels and doing his own music last ten years. genre could be described as dark electronics, somewhere between techno and synth wave, but if there is something that makes him unique, it s his powerfull and distinctive voice. sasa is also member of ebm-ish project sumerian fleet, having releases on mighty dark entries or creme organization, where we took the opportunity and asked his colleague, legendary mr. pauli to enrich this 12inch with proper west coast style remix.

a further thing that brings us together is something that has been with us since childhood and that we belgians call: belgitude...

solarism is the result of a common fascination for landscapes and a passion for contemplation. after two decades of an unbreakable friendship, we have finally imagined a way to express what contemplation has offered us and how it connects us to the world, describing those experiences through musical compositions, dj performances and welcoming other artists to release their art. here is how markus described his mind’s landscape composing these pieces of music, and it talks more than any description: have you ever thought that you are two people? do you have memories that are so detached from who you are now that you sometimes believe they are not your own? like something you have read or seen in a movie? you wonder who that was, your very own tyler durden? and here he is with a gift from another time when i was another person, living so fast and unconscious that i eventually almost lost the only thing we really have – my life.

claudio mate & francesco mazzocco directly from dub-ito headquarter introduce for the third chapter of the label an artist that doesn’t need too many introductions... violet poison... during these last years violet’s music has been one of the most interesting alternative proposal also giving a great influence over ebm, industrial, techno movement with his dark/esoteric imprint. claudio and violet having a longtime music friendship, they both decided that it was the right time to do something unique. for this - voices from the hell - previously released exclusively on tape/cassette by hospital productions, got the placet for a new wax life directly by hospital main man dominick fernow.

nice price deal !!! paris based duo room 10 deliver a strong tech-house 4 tracker with the help of cadenzas alejandro vivanco. room 10s caracol ep represents a slight departure for metroline: away from the strong dub influence of their last few releases, to something more driving and club orientated. caracol (tambour version), which kicks of the ep, is a heavy slab of heavy, deceptively simple funk. the track builds gradually into a totally infectious groove, which breaks down into an atmospheric, cinematic soundscape that reminds you as much of blade runner and metropolis as it does of a john gaiser or false track

rfbcolours 004 is aimed at the dark, jazzy smokey affairs. from the off u can see the imspiration fro the ep title with the a1 track from sombro and embezzlement society capturing a low end, horn sampled groover with rough claps and an undeniable groove. georgi barrel delivers again with something that will warm up the coldest clubs or capyure you on sunset terraces. long island sound hit the pianos hard on the slower paced but equally as grabbing and tense -grit-. label owner jamie trench rounds off with night lanterns which is a track thats been waiting for a space on wax for a good few years now and fits beautifully with the rest of the ep.

bla bla music is coming up with something new, something special. the upcoming 3 releases will be colored vinyl, they will be released one after another. in a later stage they will come out as a box. this special set will be called ryb. the records will be totally in red, yellow and blue with matching artwork in the exact same colour. the releases will be done by swiss producer digitaline, the german christian burkhardt and slovenian valentino kanzyani. all heavyweights with an impressive discography. each release will be supported with remixes of digitaline, daniel sanchez, silat beksi, pascal benjamin or vincenzo perez. every release will come out as 300 limited copies including a plastic sleeve.

from hudd trax and dessous through to one and karat, parisian producer andrade has graced many a fine label in his time. he lands on politics of dancing in fine fettle, jumping to the task with a-side cut -the bridge- like he s got something to prove. the beat is irrefutable, while the soulful chords and samples rubbed into the joints make it all the sweeter. -control- on the b-side is an airy affair that floats on plush layers of melody without losing its low-end impact. by way of variation, the remixes from dan ghenacia and art alfie simmer andrade s originals down into measured, tool-like constructions.

der longplayer von 2006, mit dem tarrus riley den internationalen durchbruch schaffte, ist wieder als vinyl erhältlich! mit parables wurde der sänger zu einem der weltweit bekanntesten zeitgenössischen sänger des reggae, als produzent fungierte dabei dean fraser. dieser hatte die tuff gong und grafton studios angemietet (mit shane brown und rohan dwyer am mischpult) und mit einer ganzen armada an topmusikern den longplayer realisiert, der bis heute von vielen fans als das beste tarrus riley album gefeiert wird.

claes rosen makes a welcome return to local talk after his daydreaming release back in 2013. for his new release claes has written a beautiful house jam that s got after hours written all over it. it s melodic, soulful, spiritual but still mighty uplifting. fans of glenn underground or blaze should listen carefully. on the flip we ve got something truly special for all the real house heads - lars bartkuhn & marek bartkuhn aka needs are back on the house circuit. yup, it s true! needs are back once again and agreed to deliver a remix for local talk. back in the late 90 s and early 2000 s needs was a huge breath of fresh air to the house scene with their melodic chicago inspired house sound. the remix delivered here is again something timeless and unique, sounding simultaneously classic and new! it s a real builder, so let this one run its full course. trust us, you ll be rewarded big time!

with the musical institution that the guitar constitutes, golden retriever sets out to change its paradigm with very simple means, creating a void between genres and ideas to be in, grinning in its essence yet at times grounded with serious introspective ingredients. with only an iphone as a recording studio, golden retriever has created the ep in a very minimalistic sense, not only when it comes to sheer production elements but also through that instruments chosen to use. having a background in various other scenes, you could say it s a consequence of leftover creativity and exploratory passion that didn t fit in anywhere else at the moment. the sonic palette is naive, luscious and surprisingly thick and sturdy considering the limitations of both instruments and recording equipment used. with unassailable melodies that are equally captivating as ravishing, it seduces you with the same drifter romantics and beautiful scenery as you would find in any classic country song without following the same structure. whenever a string of the guitar is plucked, struck or touched, it invokes feelings of both adventurous joy, but sometimes also the sadness of leaving something behind.

ein ruhiges, intimes und reduziertes album, das von gesang und text lebt.
die vinyl-lp erscheint inklusive album-cd.

the period of the 1960s and 70s was so fertile that the speed with which tastes changed left a colossal amount of incredible music to gather dust - perhaps most famously a profusion of funk, soul and rock. countless of local artistsw released their music independently, such as mr. holiday. and what a dope double-sider it is! check the drum & flute break, something to die for!

italian trio raw elements debuts on resopal with two tracks on their alquemia ep. with careful consideration and an acute attention to detail, each of the tracks contributes its unique vision to raw elements first package. the title track is a high-tempo minimal techno number, picking up linear momentum verse after verse while jetlag shows the trios shadowy, percussive style. no matter the time or place, there is something here for everyone. early plays by hawtin and dubfire.

originally released as a soundtrack in 1974, and long out of print, cinewaxs reissue is remastered from the original tapes and is presented as an exact reproduction of the original album artwork featuring jim pearsalls classic film art. sometimes, it doesnt take very long to create something brilliant. when producer robert evans rejected phillip lambro’s original score for chinatown, jerry goldsmith was hired to create another, from scratch, in just 10 days.

from minute one, it’s obvious that “he is the voice i hear” is something extraordinary. glimmering piano sets the stage until an insistent violin gives way to a rollicking disco bass line — and then we’re off. it’s the rare work that feels truly greater than the sum of its parts, once it’s over, you’ll be counting down the minutes until you hear the whole thing again.
“he is the voice i hear” is dedicated to the voices who inspired the black madonna to become who she is: frankie knuckles, larry levan, arthur russell, walter gibbons, loleatta holloway. says stamper: “i wanted to make a record that returned to the core values of dance music. in a lot of ways, i don’t think i’m doing something new with this record. i’m doing something old.”
